Best to See Your Fernandina Beach Chiropractor As Long As You Need
“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a familiar question Amelia Chiropractic Clinic gets when Fernandina Beach folks talk about chiropractic. Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients are a assorted group. Some Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients come for a specific spinal pain relief issue and stop coming. Some Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue requires (though keeping on the at-home care program that includes lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise helps keep these issues at bay for many!). Some Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients discover that coming for a Fernandina Beach chiropractic spinal manipulation visit on a regular basis after pain relief is reached benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when prodded to keep doing healthy things like exercising, eating right and being adjusted. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is grateful for every Fernandina Beach chiropractic patient who entrusts their spine’s healing and on-going health to this Fernandina Beach chiropractic practice.
Now, just how often a Fernandina Beach chiropractic patient can gain from Fernandina Beach chiropractic care visits is a well-researched answer for chronic low back pain patients. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic presents a recent project in which participants with chronic low back pain were treated three times a week for 6 weeks. During each visit the patient would receive spinal manipulation or light massage or no treatment. In the end, 12 chiropractic spinal manipulation treatments produced the most promising outcomes for chronic low back pain patients. At one year follow up, the 18 visits patients showed peak outcomes for disability and pain relief. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic uses the Cox Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which has researched and documented for other specific spinal conditions the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence permits Amelia Chiropractic Clinic to really aid our Fernandina Beach back pain patients’ knowledge of what to expect with Fernandina Beach chiropractic care.
The number of visits for low back pain episodes varies often with the underlying cause of the back pain episode. A study from 30 chiropractic clinics’ chiropractic care with flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic) resulted in data on 1000 back pain patients. It detailed the types of conditions treated, the days, visits and patient outcomes. Globally35, 12 visits in 29 days were the mean results for maximum improvement. For particular conditions like spondylolisthesis, disc herniation (even L4 vs L5 disc herniation), sprain/strain, etc., the days and visits varied. There is a difference in treating a disc herniation versus a sprain understandably. One presents a greater challenge to treat than the other. 91% of patients discovered relief of their low back pain and leg pain on average in less than 90 days (when the condition turns "chronic") and 12 visits.

Whatever your underlying cause of spinal pain, a Fernandina Beach chiropractic treatment plan can be arranged for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is wanted. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is always ready to help!
